Lol, terrible.
That being said, that really is spectacular. Edward Colston traded in a shit ton of things and really made most of his money in luxuries and wine. He did a bit of slave trading, that's true but he isn't remembered as being a slave trader.
He's remembered for building hospitals for the poor, schools for the poor and shelters for the poor.
Edward Colston is one of history's greatest philanthropists. That's why he had that statue.
What has this chick done but whine for attention and vandalize a statue to a great man?
She definitely deserves to be commemorated on a plinth. Is a knighthood sufficient for this kind of thing or would she prefer a baronship?
